WATER-HEATING ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent. c Patent ed Mar, 9, 1920,

Application filed June 9, 1919. Serial No. 302,949.

To all whom it may concern: i Be it known that I, WESLEY M. -HA'MIL- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tampa, in the county of Hillsborough and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Heating Attachments, of which the following is a specification. a This invention relates to stove attachments, particularly to water heating at tachments for 'gaseous or liquid fuel burner stoves, and has for its object theprovision of a water heating device comprising a ring member formed of piping and disposed above and outwardly of each burner of the stove, a pipe coil member of larger diameter disposediwithin the grid opening-above each burner and arranged above and outwardly of the ring pipe, and a plurality of relatively small tubes connecting the ringv pipe and the upper :pipe whereby'water fed to the ring pipe will be very quickly heated during-its flow therethrough and through said tubes, the uppermost pipe member beout in any way detracting from the utility of the stove during cooking operations.

tachment of this character which may be placed upon existing stoves of ordinary construction, the pipe members being arranged within the grid openings and a further feature is that the grids serve as protecting means for preventing injury to the pipes and their connecting tubes.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly efficient in use, durable in service, and a general improvement inthe art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fu y descri ed and l imed, and illus- 'which-- W A 7 Figure 1 ls'a s1de elevation of a stove Another object is the provision of an at trated'in the accompanying drawings, in

having my attachment associated therewit and showing a water tank,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the stove with the attachment inplace, 7 s

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional View, and Fig 4 is a detail sectional View;

\ Referring more particularly't'o the draw ings the letter'A designates a stove of the type having liquid .or gaseous burners B disposed beneath grid openings 0 and D, the grid openings C having disposed therein grids E and the openings 1) having disp'osed therein plates F, each having a central opening G disposed immediately above the burner B. The letter H designates a water tank.

In carrying out my invention I provide at the central part of the stove-beneath the plane of the burners. a coupling- 10 into the bottom of whichleads' a water feed pipe 11 leading trom the lower portion of the tank H. Extending infan upwardly in clined direction from each arm of the coupling 10. is a pipe 12'wliich may be'tormed in sections connected by the usual-unions 13. v

Disposed above each burner B is a ring member 14 formed of piping and to which is-connected one of the pipes 12. An almost circular coil pipe 15 is disposed 'within each of the grid openings and is disposed above the pipe ring 14. The diameter of the ring 14 is greater than the diameter of the burner B so that'the ring will be disposed outwardly therebeyond "and the .diameter of the pipe coil 15 is greater than the diameter of the ring 14, The ring pipe 141 communicates with the coil pipe 15 by means of a plurality of tubes 16 of relatively small diameter which-extend upwardly in an inclined direction inwardly of the ring member 14 for a portion of their lengths, which then extend vertically upwardly and then slightly upwardly and outwardly to the coil pipe 15.

One end of each pipe coil 15 is closed, as

shown at 17, and the other extends along and above the top of the stove, as shown at 18, and has connected therewith a discharge pipe 19, a suitable union 20 being employed.

These pipes 19 extend upwardly in a slightly. inclined direction and are connected at their other ends by'suitable couplings 21 with the lower 611613 of abruptly ascendmg pipes 22 which are connected at theirupper ends by a common memberr23 from which 6X1 the tank.

In order that the attachment may be properly supported within the grid openings C, the grids E are provided at their corners with relatively long inwardly extending arms 25 which are adapted for engagement.

thereon of thepipe coil 15. The coils in these gr1d openings C are obviouslv inserted 7 from thetopand will he supported so as to prevent displacement. The arrangement is such that the coils 15 will be disposed'either flush with or below the'top "surfaces of the grids whereby to prevent injury to anyvof' the pipes or tubes.

In order that the coils 15 may be supported within the grid openings D, the plates F closing these openingsrD carry on their undersides brackets 28' which are det'achably connectedby means of suitable screws 29 or the'l-ike and which extend in- 'wardly beneath the coils 15. It will beobthe coil pipes15 and very quickly and easily viousthat the coils 15 will be inserted in place from the, underside of the plates F and these plates F will cover the coils 15' as I well as the tubes 16 and prevent damage.

When the device is in use it will be seen that water will fiow from the tank H,

through the. pipe 11 coupling 10, pipes '12, ring members '14, tubes 16, coils 15,

pipes 18 and 19, .pipes 22, and into the pipeQ whenceit will flow into the tank H; I

It will be observed that the flame from the burners willwplay against the tubes 16 and heat the water while at the-same time these various pipes and;tubes will not stop the direction of the flame or interfere with it in any way in thexuse of the stove for cooking purposes. 1

Wh'le .I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my-invention, it

'is of course to-be understood that I reserve the rightto makesuch changes in the form,

construction, and arrangement- 0f parts as will. not depart from the spirit of the inventi'onor the scope of the subjoined claims.-

Iclaimzy V 1. A waterheating attachment for stoves having liquid orgaseous fuel burners, comprising a member disposed above and discharge pipe.

outwardly of each burner, a common feed I pipe extending below all of the burners and tends a pipe 24 discharging into the top of having branch pipes extending upwardly and connected with said ring members, a pipe coil disposed above and outwardly beyond each ring member, a plurality of tubes connected with each ring member and'the coil pipe thereabove, and a discharge pipe connected with each of said coil pipes 2. A water heating attachment for gaseous and liquid fuel burnenstoves,comprising a ring member disposed above and outwardly of each burner, a'comnion feed pipe disposed below the burners and having branch pipes connected with said ring 1118111, hers, a coil pipe disposed above and outwardly of each ring member, a. plurality of tubes of. relatively small diameter communicating with each ring member and ex tending upwardly with respect thereto and having their upper ends extending out-- w-ardly and connected-with? said pipe coil, one end of each piper coil being closed and the other end thereofbeing connected with a 3. Incom-b'nation with a watertan-k and a stove having liquid or gaseous fuel burners, a feed pipe extending from the lower portion of said tank. and disposed below the plane of said burners; a coupling member on the end of said feedpipe, a-plurality of branch pipes leading from: saidcoupling 'member and extending in an upwardly inclined direction,- aring pipe member dis posed above and outwardly of each burner, sai'dbranch pipes being connected with said ring pipes, a coil pipe fdispose'd aboveand outwardly of each rmg pipe member, a pjlu-' rality of tubes of relatively small diameter connecting said ring: pipes and said coil 7 pipes, one end of each coil pipebeing closed, a'discharge pipe connected with the other end of each coil pipe and extending: in an upwardly inclined direction toward the top 7 of said pipe, common connection connected with the-upper ends of all of-sa d discharge pipes, and a. p1pe connected with said common connection and communicating, with the top of saidtank.
